PHD2 Multistar Guiding and Dithering

I’ve been using PHD2 Multistar guiding for a few months now which has been awesome and only realised imaging last night that during a dither , PHD2 loses all the 9 stars until the dither has been completed and then re acquires 1 main star and then approximately 5 to 8 seconds later re acquires the other 8 stars.
This extended delay for re acquisition of all stars under Multistar guiding has prompted me to increase my dither recovery time in APT so guiding has stabilised for the next sub frame.
Under the old single star guiding 10 to 15 sec was usually enough time to stabilise the mount and guide again before the next frame , but with Multistar guiding Ive adopted an additional 10 sec ( now total of 20 to 25 sec ) of recovery time so mount and guiding runs smooth ready for the next subframe

Has anyone noticed this change and has adjusted their settings accordingly ( obviously wouldn’t worry super expensive mounts )

I welcome any comments
Thanks
Martin
